<strong>2011</strong>/<strong>2012</strong> <strong>FEE</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong><br />
The attached recommended CFPM fee guide has been developed in order<br />
to establish a guideline for which Podiatrists and Chiropodists throughout<br />
Canada are able to bill a reasonable fee for services rendered; which is<br />
approved by a National <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Podiatric</strong> body.<br />
Fees are varied from a low to high range in order to allow practitioners to<br />
bill accordingly to their geographic/economic area.<br />
The CFPM encourages practitioners to distribute this fee guide to local<br />
employers; unions and insurance groups when billing discrepancies arise.<br />
This fee guide outlines common <strong>Podiatric</strong>/Chiropodial services; but does<br />
not encompass all treatment modalities provided by the <strong>Canadian</strong><br />
<strong>Podiatric</strong>/Chiropodial pr<strong>of</strong>ession.<br />
The CFPM encourages all practicing <strong>Canadian</strong> Podiatrists/Chiropodists<br />
to follow this National Fee Guide.<br />
